‎YOKOHAMA JAPAN‎

‎Letters Of Life And Anti-Semitism From An American Abroad In Early 20th Century Japan‎

‎a TLS. 2pg. 8 ¼†x 10â€. July 15 1920. Yokohama Japan. A typed letter signed “Neil†laced with anti-Semitic sentiment. In part: “Went out calling last night with the bunch of fellows across the street. The host and his side partner are N.Y. Jews but sort of decent people. The wife is very nice but the husband is a regular East Sider. He is always talking about ‘not that I mind the expense of the house here but the servant is always telling about the money she needs for this and that and I can’t see where it goes to.’ You know just about what kind of a guy he is better than I do no doubt and you haven’t seen him. Anyway it was sort of a pleasant evening as he left the States in March and brought a lot of the new songs with him. He is a very good piano player and I had a fine time listening to him. One of the songs he played and ‘tried to sing’ just like John was ‘Pal of Mine’ you know how nice it was in comparison to the real singer and this Jew did the same stunt of turning to his wife too as John does to his wife when she sits up in the box. The husband was just a regular N.Y. smart alex Jew.†Typed on letterhead from Yokohama’s Grand Hotel which famously burned down as a result of the devastating 1923 Great Kanto earthquake the letter is in very fine condition with light toning throughout and a few handwritten corrections not affecting legibility. b TLS. 3pg. 8 ¼†x 10â€. July 19 1920. Yokohama Japan. A typed letter signed “Neil†regarding work and life as an American abroad in early 20th century Japan. In part: “There isn’t much doing as for excitement but just hang around and do nothing. I really think I am gaining weight on the job. I met a fellow here who deals in all sorts of dress goods from Boston and I am getting on the right side of him as he gets all his stuff from here and I may be able to get some things for you people wholesale when you need them. He is one of us you get me being from Boston and a very fine chap. Eleanor will have nothing on me then getting things wholesale. About the only thing we need now wholesale is to get a bank to give us more money on our checks when we cash in. I am thinking of buying a kimono for Connors in the office for his wife as they are married in the Fall. He is a nice fellow and I thought for his trouble in calling up and the like I would bring him back one. I am not sure about it as yet but I think I will.†Typed on letterhead from Yokohama’s Grand Hotel which famously burned down as a result of the devastating 1923 Great Kanto earthquake the letter is in very fine condition with light toning throughout and a few handwritten corrections not affecting legibility. unknown‎

‎DREA EDWARD J‎

‎Japan's Imperial Army: Its Rise And Fall 1853-1945‎

‎University Press of Kansas Lawrence: 2016. Softcover. Brand new book. Popular impressions of the imperial Japanese army still promote images of suicidal banzai charges and fanatical leaders blindly devoted to their emperor. Edward Drea looks well past those stereotypes to unfold the more complex story of how that army came to power and extended its influence at home and abroad to become one of the world's dominant fighting forces. This first comprehensive English-language history of the Japanese army traces its origins evolution and impact as an engine of the country's regional and global ambitions and as a catalyst for the militarization of the Japanese homeland from mid-nineteenth-century incursions through the end of World War II. Demonstrating his mastery of Japanese-language sources Drea explains how the Japanese style of warfare burnished by samurai legends shaped the army narrowed its options influenced its decisions and made it the institution that conquered most of Asia. He also tells how the army's intellectual foundations shifted as it reinvented itself to fulfill the changing imperatives of Japanese society�and how the army in turn decisively shaped the nation's political social cultural and strategic course. Drea recounts how Japan devoted an inordinate amount of its treasury toward modernizing professionalizing and training its army�which grew larger more powerful and politically more influential with each passing decade. Along the way it produced an efficient military schooling system a well-organized active duty and reserve force a professional officer corps that thought in terms of regional threat and well-trained soldiers armed with appropriate weapons. Encompassing doctrine strategy weaponry and civil-military relations Drea's expert study also captures the dominant personalities who shaped the imperial army from Yamagata Aritomo an incisive geopolitical strategist to Anami Korechika who exhorted the troops to fight to the death during the final days of World War II. Summing up Drea also suggests that an army that places itself above its nation's interests is doomed to failure. Edward J. Drea recipient of the Society for Military History's Samuel Eliot Morison Award for lifetime achievement is the author of MacArthur's ULTRA: Codebreaking and the War against Japan and In the Service of the Emperor: Essays on the Japanese Imperial Army. "Far exceeds the expectations for 'reference works' in the sophistication of its historical argumentation. . . . For anyone considering the historiography of Japan's road to war in the 1930s Drea's work will become required reading."�Historian "An impressive and important piece of scholarship that addresses the first modern U.S. enemy to institutionalize suicide tactics as a mechanism to exhaust the will of the American people and to obtain a less-severe peace. . . . Highly recommended for command and staff students undergraduate survey courses on modern Japan and anyone interested in the pathology of militarism and how it can derail national policymaking."�Military Review University Press of Kansas, Lawrence: 2016 paperback‎

‎ALLISON ANNE‎

‎Nightwork: Sexuality Pleasure And Corporate Masculinity In A Tokyo Hostess Club‎

‎University of Chicago Press Chicago and London: 1994. Softcover. Brand new book. In Nightwork Anne Allison opens a window onto Japanese corporate culture and gender identities. Allison performed the ritualized tasks of a hostess in one of Tokyo's many "hostess clubs": pouring drinks lighting cigarettes and making flattering or titillating conversation with the businessmen who came there on company expense accounts. Her book critically examines how such establishments create bonds among white-collar men and forge a masculine identity that suits the needs of their corporations. Allison describes in detail a typical company outing to such a club�what the men do how they interact with the hostesses the role the hostess is expected to play and the extent to which all of this involves "play" rather than "work." Unlike previous books on Japanese nightlife Allison's ethnography of one specific hostess club here referred to as Bijo views the general phenomenon from the eyes of a woman hostess and feminist anthropologist. Observing that clubs like Bijo further a kind of masculinity dependent on the gestures and labors of women Allison seeks to uncover connections between such behavior and other social economic sexual and gendered relations. She argues that Japanese corporate nightlife enables and institutionalizes a particular form of ritualized male dominance: in paying for this entertainment Japanese corporations not only give their male workers a self-image as phallic man but also develop relationships to work that are unconditional and unbreakable. This is a book that will appeal to anyone interested in gender roles or in contemporary Japanese society.

‎WILSON NOELL‎

‎Defensive Positions: The Politics Of Maritime Security In Tokugawa Japan‎

‎Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2015. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Defensive Positions focuses on the role of regional domains in early modern Japan's coastal defense shedding new light on this system's development. This examination in turn has significant long-term political implications for the involvement of those domains in Tokugawa state formation. Noell Wilson argues that domainal autonomy in executing maritime defense slowly escalated over the course of the Tokugawa period to the point where the daimyo ultimately challenged Tokugawa authorities as the primary military interface with the outside world. By first exploring localized maritime defense at Nagasaki and then comparing its organization with those of the Yokohama and Hakodate harbors during the treaty port era Wilson identifies new core systemic sources for the collapse of the shogunate's control of the monopoly on violence. Her insightful analysis reveals how the previously unexamined system of domain-managed coastal defense comprised a critical third element�in addition to trade and diplomacy�of Tokugawa external relations. Domainal control of coastal defense exacerbated the shogunate's inability to respond to important military and political challenges as Japan transitioned from an early modern system of parcelized local maritime defense to one of centralized national security as embraced by world powers in the nineteenth century.

‎SATO DOSHIN‎

‎Modern Japanese Art And The Meiji State The Politics Of Beauty‎

‎Getty Publications Los Angeles: 2011. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. This broad-ranging and profoundly influential analysis describes how Western art institutions and vocabulary were transplanted to Japan in the late nineteenth century. In the 1870s and 1880s artists government administrators and others in Japan encountered the Western "system of the arts" for the first time as objects and information from Japan reached European and American audiences following the collapse of the shogun's regime. Under pressure to exhibit and sell its artistic products abroad Japan's new Meiji government came face-to-face with the need to create European-style art schools museums government-sponsored exhibitions and artifact preservation policies� and even to establish Japanese words for "art" "painting" "artist" and "sculpture." Modern Japanese Art and the Meiji State represents nothing less than a reconceptualization of the field of Japanese art history. It exposes the politics through which the words categories and values that still structure our understanding of the field came to be while revealing the historicity of Western and non-Western art history. Translated into English from the Japanese by Hiroshi Nara. Doshin Sato is professor of Japanese art history at the Tokyo University of the Arts. The original Japanese edition of this book published in 1999 was the winner of the Suntory Prize for Social Sciences and Humanities. Getty Publications, Los Angeles: 2011 hardcover‎
